Tall the World About OmgenM SPRINGFIELD AND OPPORTUNITY With the opening of the Natron cutoff thU summer Springfield will become a better town both for business and industry. The added freight and mail facilities provided by the main line railroad will in itself enhance the value of existing business and industry. Opportunities offered here for Industrial ex- insion are great. We are not only offering free dustrial sites but we are near to an abundance of raw products and developed electrical power. There is room and business here for auother saw mill. planing mill and other wood products plants. Industrial agents of railroads tell us that a milk condensary or a cannery could be located here if the people of the community wanted it and would Sign up sufficient patronage. But with the opening of the railroad main line through here these things will be easier to iand. There is opportunity for development here as great as any place in the Willamette valley—and the greatest industrial expansion the Willamette valley will experience is likely to come in the next 10 years.
